The format used by the kerneldoc tool is not recognized by emacs. Change the kerneldoc error message format to the GNU style such that the emacs prev-error and next-error commands can be used to navigate through kerneldoc error messages. For more information about the GNU error message format, see also https://www.gnu.org/prep/standards/html_node/Errors.html.
